Burkina Faso and Tunisia meet in Garoua in Saturday’s second quarter-final clash while Egypt plays Morocco and Senegal take on another upstart in Equatorial Guinea in Sunday’s two quarter-finals in Yaounde.
Cameroon, in contrast, has turned in largely mediocre performances and, although they had all the odds heavily stacked in their favour in their last game against the other tournament debutants, Comoros Islands, they laboured through to the quarter-finals in a controversial 2-1 victory. Elimination of the hosts at this stage would come as a blow to the tournament already hard hit by the death of eight spectators in a stampede ahead of Cameroon’s last game on Monday.
Cameroon takes on Gambia in Douala where the condition of the pitch at the Japoma Stadium has been declared poor and where there will be no further games, the Confederation of African Football decided this week.Egypt’s clash with Morocco will be keenly anticipated and could reveal the identity of the eventual winner although Senegal remains strong favourites, even if they, too, have not delivered any strong evidence of their potential.
